Funding for two of the crosswalks came from Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal’s Council District Infrastructure Allocation, the Press-Telegram reported.

Lowenthal represents the 2nd District, which includes portions of the Broadway Corridor.

We love that the city painted streets with fabulous gay colors, but how about spending some funds on fixing the streets in that area. The portion of Broadway between Cherry and Orange has potholes and is in need of repair.

Rainbow crosswalks acknowledging the LGBTQ community also have been painted in San Francisco, Sacramento, New York and West Hollywood.

Using taxpayer money for this is ridiculous when roads are in need of repair. Someone has their priorities skewed when it comes to spending money provided by taxpayers. This should come from private contributions, not from citizens who pay for road repairs and find funds are used for frivolous paint jobs!
